Hello, Yesterday I had to write a program that compiles 2 forms of executables: a standalone version that takes its parameters from the command line, and another one that serves as a CGI program and thus takes exactly the same parameters but from stdin (POST method). I naturally chose Boost.ProgramOptions for the first one, and did the job by myself for the second one. I finally realized that I was doing fundamentally the same thing as what a ProgramOptions parser basically does: parsing a name=value series of variables, checking unknown values, assign them to variables, etc... plus a few formatting work to handle URL format specificities. So in the end I was wondering if a "cgi_query_parser" would be appreciated as an addition to the parsers already present in Boost.ProgramOptions? I can directly see the benefits inside my own program since the 2 versions would only differ on one line of code.
From a more general point of view, it could be a simple way to have a CGI support somewhere in Boost.
If such a thing can be interesting, I can take a few time to implement it. Regards Bruno
